Seeing Lin Chen nod, Cao Cao continued,"
"I know quite a few people in the Dong Punisher Army.”
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Gonglu, Yuzhou's Kong Wei, and so on. These people all came from prestigious families and disdained to associate with people from the Humble Class. When I was in Luoyang, I was often ostracized by these people, and they always thought that I was inferior to them.”
"If Lord Lin goes, even if he brings tens of thousands of soldiers, these people won't even look at him.”
"However, although I have a reputation, I have just escaped from Luoyang and do not have a single soldier under me. The hastily recruited combat strength is definitely not comparable to the others.”
"If the two of us join forces and form an alliance, no one will question Lord Lin's identity in the Dong Punishing Army. We can also occupy a place in the Dong Punishing Army and not end up being mixed in the crowd and being commanded by others.”
Cao Cao glanced at Lin Chen, only to see that he was still calm.
Anyone who heard this would probably be moved.
Because what Cao Cao said was the truth. Although he was gradually being respected by the people of Lujiang, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still the good-for-nothing who had a good father, was idle, ignorant, and incompetent. He was still the useless person who sat on the position of Lujiang Prefecture.
Of course, perhaps Cao Cao's luck was not good. After a passionate speech, he met Lin Chen.
As a transmigrator, Lin Chen would usually listen to anyone from God's perspective. Although doing so would make him feel less immersive, he could look at every problem rationally.
Knowing Cao Cao's character, he had already guessed Cao Cao's goal. If he united his forces, other than him, even the Tiger Guards and Dian Wei would be killed.
Previously, he had shouted that he would not let anyone poach him, but now he had taken the initiative to come to his door. He was not that stupid.
Lin Chen's gaze returned to Cao Cao, only to see that he was sincere. A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face,
"In that case, I have to thank Lord Cao for guiding me?”
"I need Lord Lin's help. Lord Lin can use my name to gain a place in the army, so why not?”
"No need."
Without any hesitation, Lin Chen rejected Cao Cao.
"Lord Lin, are you really not going to consider it?”
Cao Cao frowned. He thought he had convinced Lin Chen.
"It isn't difficult for me to gain a place in the Dong Punisher Army.”
"I have my ways. When the time comes, no one will dare to say anything about me.”
Lin Chen's gaze was firm. In the face of absolute strength, no one had the right to laugh at an expert.
This was Lin Chen's confidence.
Looking at Lin Chen's gaze, Cao Cao's heart trembled. At this moment, he actually believed that Lin Chen could do it. At the same time, he knew that Lin Chen would no longer be able to work for him.
He could only give up.
"This is just a suggestion of mine. In that case, I'll take my leave first. I hope that Lord Lin will really shine during the alliance meeting.”
Lin Chen nodded again, but he also cupped his fists at Cao Cao.
"Take care."
Cao Cao nodded and didn't say anything else. Before he left, he looked at Dian Wei, the captain of the city defense team, and the 30-odd soldiers with envy in his eyes.
He swore in his heart that one day, he would also have such a powerful army and make the city under his rule so harmonious.
He gazed deeply at them, then turned around resolutely and left Lu River with Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and two other attendants.
……
"This person is Cao Cao?"
After they left, Dian Wei couldn't help but mutter.
Lin Chen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Dian Wei to say such a thing. He smiled and asked,""Why? You followed it before?”
Dian Wei shook his head,
"I heard that he tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo. I thought he was a tall and brave warrior, but I didn't expect him to be like this.”
"He's too tall and mighty, how could Dong Zhuo not be on guard? Sometimes, it wasn't a bad thing to be ugly.”
Dian Wei nodded and agreed with Lin Chen's point of view.
Lin Chen smiled calmly. As for whether or not Dian Wei would be taken by Cao Cao, if he didn't have this bit of confidence, where would he get the confidence to conquer the world?
From now on, Dian Wei and Cao Cao had nothing to do with each other.
No, perhaps one day, the two of them might meet again.
After a simple chat with Dian Wei, Lin Chen's gaze fell on the City Defense Army that came to support him. He waved his hand lightly,
"Everyone, disperse. You did well today. If you encounter anything, choose to support immediately.”
"Yes!"
The City Defense Army responded and returned to their posts. They patrolled and inspected the city gates.
The captain was about to leave when he was stopped by Lin Chen.
"Stay for a while."
"Eh! Nuo!"
The captain's body trembled slightly and he hurriedly bowed.
Lin Chen smiled faintly and carefully sized up the other party.
He did not look old, only seventeen or eighteen years old.
This time, the captain's performance could be said to be very good. At the same time, he was very sure that this captain was a talent.
"What's your name?"
Lin Chen asked as he sized up the other party.
"City Defense Army's Fifth Brigade, Fifth Squad's Squad Leader Chen Wu, also known as Zilie, greets Milord.”
"Chen Wu, Chen Zilie?"
Lin Chen's pupils constricted as he immediately assessed the team leader's physique.
[Chen Wu, Physique: Level 6]
“.......”
Looking at this data, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. He looked at the captain in disbelief.
One of the Tiger Ministers of River East seemed to have this name. He did not expect that he would actually be hidden in the City Defense Army.
He had really picked up a treasure this time, and it was Cao Cao who had helped him find it.
"I heard you say something on the way here. You handled this matter cleanly and neatly.”
To his subordinates, Lin Chen was never stingy with his praise. He would scold them when he needed to, and praise them when he needed to.
Chen Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, looking a little reserved.
"Actually, I didn't say anything. Those words were what you told us when you came to the City Defense Army. I just learned from you and explained it to them.”
